Well, I'll admit... it was solely written in the "best moments" of a true rebound (after a two year long relationship). I loved every second of it. She was a treat. Just not the right Halloween candy, I guess. But it was fun enough that I wrote this song. And it's all her.
lyrics
My eyes are on fire, she's lighting up the sunrise
burning holes in what I thought I had inside
Whip! Crack! my heart open for the whole world to see
There's really nothing more frightening
Talk of life and death over our latest breakfast
Chapters and lies that are fading slowly so our eyes
Gaze then catch, it's a lock - Still I must remain slow...
I've been known to over romanticize life
We're waiting for the snow
To cover all our favorite roads
That's when we'll find our home, Our home...
With hardwood floors that freeze our toes in the evening, and I'm in love!
